Since you retain control of your money, how does one consistently maintain 30-50% cash on cash return? 

However a couple larger items that should have been discussed: the pipes would freeze every winter (we've since found a fix), no water shutoff exists in each unit, the well pump has to be turned off and cut water to all 18 units, no pest control was ever done on the property, there was a unit that would take on exceptional water during rain due to improper prep and installation of a new concrete slab.

Although, it's very capital intensive and you have to rely on a lot of factors you can't control, contractors, interest rates, market shifts, realtors, buyers, appraisers, inspectors, material costs, weather etc etc.

Smart locks and security cameras (outdoor only) add an extra layer of control.
